My continuing saga of "The Fall"

It's been two weeks since I fell flat on my back on the patio. As I said, I am so very thankful I didn't break any bones.
Did end up with a concussion, though and it's taken a lot out of me. I'm very spacey (more than usual!) and very tired. I went to my doctor today and got a steroid injection in my hip for Bursitis which was triggered by the accident.
I told my husband I feel like a Hypochondriac because there's always something going on. He said that I didn't imagine the fall or any of the other stuff.
But I certainly have so much to be thankful to God for. His mercies are everlasting.
Have you ever had a concussion? What was your experience?

Glad your sons healed, concussions can be bad.

@Marty1 I think that's still true. My husband kept checking on me during the night, between the vomiting spells, but we didn't realize I might have a concussion. I think waking someone up is to make sure they haven't slipped into a coma.

@1creekgirl , nothing but being sore and some bruises!! Some times when I know I might fall, I try to be extra careful and then I'm sore from holding myself in a certain way!! lol

Were you seriously hurt any of those times? I know I'm being really careful how I step.

@1creekgirl I think I may be permanently concussed just from living in a very bruising world!

From what I know it takes awhile to recover from a concussion so you might experience that spacey feeling for a bit longer

@Marilynda1225 Don't know how old you are, but as we age, falls become more common.

That's what the doctor says. But God is merciful!

Thank heavens you didn't break any bones @1creekgirl but a concussion is bad enough. I had one when my husband slammed my head through the wall right where a triple light switch was.

Oh, that's horrible. Did you heal ok? I'm sure it took a long time to recover from the physical and emotional wounds.

That was quite a fall! I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Thankfully, it wasn't any worse.

When my husband was dying we thought until the autopsy was completed 6 months later that it was from the concussion. It was not the concussion that killed him but it still scares me any time my children fall because I am scared of them getting a concussion. My son did have a slight one last summer right before school started again. I was terrified.

At my age, I don't have many extra brain cells to lose! Hope your son recovered well.

I bet you most likely did have a concussion. It was the grace of God you survived.

When I was taking my sister on the scooter a Car came behind and knocked us down. Then my sister had it.

Hope she's ok now. You could have both been very seriously injured.
